Cezary Gladun called to the Poland Warsaw Mission

We went to Lublin to visit the branch and to congratulate Czarek Gladun on his call to his home land, Poland, and celebrate with his family. We had dinner in the basement of this wonderful restaurant in old town. Here Elders Sorn, Lewis and Sister and Brother Gladun, along with Czarek were enjoying the company and dinner when all of a sudden the electricity went out.
The restaurant is actually a restored cellar, an old tunnel is a better description; and without electricity, it was really dark. Everyone was scrambling for cell phone lights etc, just to see what we could do to help.
The Lublin Branch. Elder Gladun standing next to President Nielson has accepted his call to serve in the Poland Warsaw Mission. What a great thing to see. He will be serving his fellow countrymen. Poland now has two young men out on missions. Elder Gladun will be the first Polish missionary sent here in some time. Among those Polish missionaries who served in their native land were President Pawelczek (current Gdansk Branch President) and Cielenski (current Wroclaw Branch President). President Pawlik (current Katowice District President) served in Chicago. Elder Gladun reports to the Preston England MTC on February 25, 2011. He is speaking in the Lublin Branch on February 20, 2011. You are all welcome and encouraged to attend.
In the Lublin Branch we met these 3 great YSA's from Taiwan who are studying medicine in Lublin. L to R: Cody, Jasmine, and Grace.
We are so thrilled for this great family, the Gladuns! Sending out a missionary is such a blessing! Soon Czarek will be a full-time Poland Warsaw Missionary. We will love him and take care of him just as we do all our other wonderful missionaries! See you soon, Czarek!
What would the Lublin Branch be without the Elders. Here Elder Lewis (the Branch President) is showing us one of his most used books (next to the scriptures, of course) while Elder Sorn is valuable to the branch with his musical talents. These are such great Elders, and the branch and mission love them.
Elders Lewis and Sorn are with Mareusz. A marvelous investigator who is being taught the gospel by these capable missionaries. We are so impressed with him (and the Elders).
